I found out several months ago that I am allergic to dairy. I loved Linda's Pound cake recipe, but alas it has dairy in it..... 4 oz of cream cheese. Could I substitute mayo in it's place? I don't want to waste my ingredients on an experiment, but I would at least like to hear from others as to what you think.

My family LOVES this cake too, and I made my daughter a beautiful birthday cake using her recipe. I just could not partake of a lovely low carb cake because of the dairy

Thanks for any help in advance!!!

I don't have any issues with dairy, so I don't pay close attention- but I
think I read about someone substituting avocado for cream cheese. Of
course I don't know what the recipe was- could've been a 6th grade
science experiment for all I know

I have a dairy-free friend. Here's what I use to sub for cream cheese in baking. Bear in mind that I have not made the recipe you're doing. It works in the black bean brownie cake that Carolyn F posted long ago.

1/2 cup Firm Silken Tofu (its in a cardboard carton, in the produce aisle near the other tofus)
1 tbl oil
1 tbl lemon juice
about a half a tbl sugar or its equivalent
1/4 tsp salt

whirl all together. you could probably cut this in half and have enough for your recipe.

BTW Esther, What kind of dairy free yogurt are you using? Where did you buy it?

I have a recipe for D/F yogurt that I got from the Spunky coconut.
Here is the yogurt. I have one for frozen yogurt too.She also has a cookbook on dairy free. I'm checking for the So delicious frozen s/f dessert aka ice cream at the store.
